GET BACK TO WORK
(Mr. IVEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. IVEY. Mr. Speaker, here we go again. Not even a week after my
Republican colleagues failed to advance their unconstitutional
impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas, House Republicans again put critical
House business on hold while they wasted precious time on another
meaningless impeachment vote.
Mr. Speaker, the list of things this House majority has ignored is
long and only getting longer. House Republicans have failed to pass the
key bills needed to avoid a government shutdown in March.
Congress still needs to reauthorize the FAA bill to improve air
travel and safety. We need to reauthorize FISA to bolster our national
security.
House Republicans need to provide critical military aid to our allies
in Ukraine and Israel, and the civilians in Gaza and Ukraine need
lifesaving humanitarian aid as soon as possible.
House Republicans can't pass or haven't passed any of these critical
bills. I am calling on my House Republican colleagues to get serious
and to let us get back to doing the work the American people need us to
get done.
